Best Home Theater - How To Choose The Best Home Theater System
from: For Yourself
Justin Koh
At first it seems like much fun having the cash to indulge and
immerse yourself in high-definition video and surround sound,
and then you realise there's more decision to be made than just
placing a sleek TV panel and a bunch of speakers in the living
room. Investing in a home theater system practically takes some
planning in order to get the aesthetics right and make yourself
comfortable with all the equipment around.
1. Most readers won't expect this, but first of all, you do need
to get your immediate family's agreement to have a home theater
right in their midst. Decide whether it's OK to install the system
in the living room, or have a separate room dedicated for a most
complete TV watching experience while disturbances to other members
are minimized.
2. There are 2 main types of flat, high-definition TV: plasma
and LCD. Plasma is made for larger size and is closer to 5 figures
in pricing than LCD, which can cost as cheaply as less than a
thousand. Plasma is the main choice for a TV in a home theater
context since LCD TVs have a size limitation.
3. How could you do without a video source? That's the DVD player.
Unless you are a discerning aficionado, you'll be spoilt for choice
as more advanced technology and decreasing cost continue to impact
the market. Almost all come with Dolby® Digital Surround sound
(EX 6.1). Watch out for the blu-ray DVD and their players in the
coming years.
4. As major TV and radio broadcasts are expected to 'port' into
the digital format in the future, the broadcasted material will
be encoded with surround sound instructions. A receiver takes
advantage by accessing and decoding these instructions to give
you superb sounds. Surround sound currently comes in the multi-channel
formats of Dolby® Digital EX 6.1 or THX Surround EX™
6.1, DTS, AC-3, etc.
Receivers can connect to most types of players and handle their
respective media, including VCR or HiFi and the latest ones are
designed to be forward-compatible with future standards and formats.
Also, some DVD players have built-in receiver capabilities, and
this is great for those looking to do more with less.
5. Speakers usually come in sets of 5: 3 in the front (left, right,
center) and 2 at the back (left, right). Check with your dealer
that the right speaker is placed for the right position because
spoken dialogue and sound effects are handled differently. Note
that "surround sound" means separate speakers can play
different sounds at the same time. The subwoofer is a different
animal as it's in charge of processing low frequency sounds which
gives you "deep boom-boom bass". It adds an unexpected
dimension to a movie which you would not have 'heard' otherwise.
6. Get the right cables; that means good quality ones. Having
the latest equipment is pointless if lousy cables are used for
connection as they naturally degrade whatever electrical signals
that come through them.
7. Check how you can make your home theater lightning-proof or
safe against power surges. You can safeguard your equipment once
you take certain precautions. Ask for professional advice.
These are just general guidelines for you to refer, but you can
take it from here to build your further interest in home theater
equipment or home electronics. If possible, ask for a test at
your dealership to get yourself familiarized with the quality
you desire. Ask your dealer to help define a proper checklist
of things you are looking for to gain clarity. The more ticks
you can make on paper, the clearer your mind gets.
